Stewart Friesen Returns Home

After a little more than a week in the hospital, Stewart Friesen has been released and reunited with his family.

The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series regular, who was injured in a modified crash July 28 at Autodrome Drummond in Quebec, still faces a long recovery.

His wife, Jessica, updated his status on social media Wednesday afternoon.

“We are thrilled to be reunited at home as Stewart has been released from the hospital. It has been a long 9 days for our family,” Jessica Friesen said. “Stewart continues to be in pain as he recovers, but we are very happy to have him at home to recoup before we start the physical therapy process.

“We are thankful to the team at Albany Medical Center, especially the trauma team for their incredible work. The procedures to reconstruct his shattered pelvis and his right leg tibia and fibula went smoothly. He has some extra plates, screws, rods and pins as well as a fracture C7 and fractured left hip but we are thankful to finally be on the other side of these injuries and on the road to recovery.”

Jessica Friesen said she will provide more updates as they are available.
